In this heart-warming and insightful book you will find essential verses from iconic Sanskrit scriptures, including:

  • The Katha Upanishad; where Death himself imparts secret teachings of existence
  • The Bhagavad Gita; which offers practical information on the nature of the human condition

Each selection includes the original Sanskrit in Devanagari script, transliteration, an original translation in English, and original watercolor illustrations.

Lecturing and teaching worldwide for nearly 40 years, he is the author of 18 books, including his latest, Sri Sukta: The Tantra of Inner Prosperity, as well as groundbreaking commentaries on the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali—The Secret of the Yoga Sutra: Samadhi Pada and The Practice of the Yoga Sutra: Sadhana Pada.

Pandit Tigunait holds two doctorates: one in Sanskrit from the University of Allahabad in India, and another in Oriental studies from the University of Pennsylvania. Family tradition gave Pandit Tigunait access to a vast range of spiritual wisdom preserved in both the written and oral traditions. Before meeting his master, Pandit Tigunait studied Sanskrit, the language of the ancient scriptures of India, as well as the languages of the Buddhist, Jaina, and Zoroastrian traditions. In 1976, Swami Rama ordained Pandit Tigunait into the 5,000-year-old lineage of the Himalayan Masters.
